Rescue operations following landslides in Mylambadi, Wayanad district, Kerala, southern India, 30 July 2024.

Dozens dead, hundreds feared trapped in India landslides
Landslides in India triggered by pounding monsoon rains have killed at least 45 people with at least 250 others rescued from a landscape transformed by mud and debris, officials said Tuesday.
The southern coastal state of Kerala has been battered by torrential downpours, with blocked roads into the disaster area at Wayanad district complicating relief efforts.
